Still aint found the other photos of Loei. Will get some next time out but its a long wait till January when I go again.

Heading out North from Loei, still along route 201 brings us to Chiang Khan about 48 kms away. Once there take a right through the town for about 4 kms, turn left to go to Kaeng Kud Koo. I've seen a few variations of the spelling of this so maybe some one will tell me what is correct. Another km further and we come to the Mekong River. The photos of this have been taken at differant times of the year so you can see the differance in water height. The rocks in the right background form the Kaeng Kud Koo rapids.

We often come here as it is a nice drive from Loei and a good way to spend a nice day. Besides the girls favorite restuarant is here. There are two or three restaurants, a variety of stalls selling touristy stuff, which were expensive. Some clothing stalls which were reasonably priced, also a number of others selling deep fried banana (like crisps)
and dyed coconut?
We always buy some of this stuff to take back to the family and it don't last long. I am told - 'can only buy here'. Whether that means its not sold anywhere else or that this is the best I don't know, but cannot recall seeing it anywhere else.
They do boat trips from here for 300 baht, but have not been on one myself yet, so for how long, and up or down river I don't know.
